LYSOL?!?
I can’t make this stuff up. Seriously, I can’t. My mind doesn’t warp that way.
Lysol: because nothing says “sexy” like “smelling like a kitchen floor”, unless perhaps it’s “causing severe chemical burns on the genitals.”
One point in favor of Ye Olde Crazy Days: the 1936 work Facts and Frauds in Woman’s Hygiene was just as against this idea as I am (read the chapter online here). Unfortunately, the above advertisement was from 1948…

Yikes. That is worse than washing your baby with Lysol!
